SAY Detroit Radiothon

Since its first broadcast in 2012, the annual events have raised nerly 19 million! A 501(c)(3) charity founded in 2006, SAY Detroit provides pathways to success for Detroiters in need. This is achieved by direct efforts, with civic and community partners and through programs such as an after-school motivational learning center for youth, 8-18; a free family medical clinic; a housing program for working families; and other learning, health care and housing initiatives for Detroit’s most vulnerable populations.

If you're able to stop by the Grand Court of the Somerset Collection (North), you can make a donation in-person or purchase a signed copy of Mitch Albom's latest book, "TWICE" or pick up a tin of Detroit Pops! gourmet popcorn — and the proceeds will benefit SAY Detroit. While the Somerset Collection has graciously provided its North Side Grand Court as a beautiful backdrop for our "pop up", there is no live audience or live stream at this year's Radiothon. We encourage you to participate virtually by keeping your radio tuned to WJR 760AM or listening on the WJR app wherever you go.
